HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How 20 Paper Rooms.

This is not a poetic subject, and is a
work that all avoid who can, yet it has
to be done, and often the amount is so
triHing that many will do it themselves
rather than bother with employing pro-
fessional. For such some instructions
may be useful. The task is not as diff
cult as might be imagined. To clean the
wall with a solution of white glue makes
good beginning. In making the paste,
add an ounce of pulvcrized alum to every
pound Of sifted flour, mix smoothly with
cold water, and pour over il gently, but
quickly, boiling water, stirring con
stantly. When done it should stand
until perfectly cold. The wall should be
smooth, and if dirty or greasy spots APP
pear on it before papering, it should
be washed with lye The edge of
the paper must be neatly trimmed
down TO the pattern. A long table
or wide board should be provided
upon which to lay the paper. Then all
the full breadths required for the room
can be cut and should be matched. Al
ways begin at the right hand side and
work to the left Lay the brcadths as
cut, one on another, and spread the top
one with paste In putting on the wall
carefully adjust the top to its place.
gently pressing it with a large, soft
cloth, first down the middle of the
breadth and then to the edge. When
the paper is all on, the border may be
tackled on or pasted, as desired
In selecting wall paper, even of cheap
quality, much good taste may be dis
played. Striking contrasts should be
avoided; choose neutral tints and colors
that harmonic with the general tone of
the surroundings. If the ceilings are
low, paper which runs perpendicularly
will make them appear higher Wall
paper is usually half yard wide and
contains eight yards to the roll
After papering a room no fire should
be made in it for several days or until en-
tirely dry.

"LOts of people who own dogs de-
sire to train their pets, but they dOPt
understand how said a well-known
dog fancier to q New York reporter.
Yes, there are some rules about it.
For instance, the training should be
begun, If possible, when the dog is q
puppy, and about four months old, and
the lessons should always be given in a
quiet place with no one present but
the teacher. In the training of your
dog you should remember that YOU
must endeavOr to make him bend to
your will by kindness, at the same
time being firm and decided in all
that you do. Use the whip sparingly,
and never use IL in anger To teach
him to lead place a string of about six
or eight feet in length around his neck.
The dog viii endeavOr TO release him
self, and you must stand still until no
has ceas ed his struggles. This will
teach him that he cannot get away,
and then you can teach him TO come
TO you. Stand off the length Of the
string, and say, Come, or Come here,
using the same word or words every
time, so as not TO confuse him.
When calling him at the same time
pulling on the string gently. He will
soon comprehend the meaning and
obey whenever the words are used.
When giving the lesson always pet and
Caress the dog whenever he does as
you wish 10 is also advisable TO teach
him at this time by some word or Res-
turo, which will indicate that his
study hour is over. To teach him to
go or stop, place yourself in or near
some place where you know Ire de-
sircs 30 60 and say CO. urging him
on by calling When he has gone part
of the distance, call, Stop, at the
same time pulling on the string and
repeating the command. With patience
and kindness you will very soon mako
him understand and be obedient. The
time required in this training varies ac-
cording TO the sagacity Of the dog,
usually being from one 20 two weeks.
Never JET The lesson occupy more than
half an hour. and when through have
